Norwegian Bliss Ship Tour | Walking Around a 1 Billion Dollar Cruise Ship

[@larry4111]

Yessss!!!! I am so excited you did this. I'm doing the eastbound TA on Bliss on its way into drydock in January. It will actually be my 3rd of 4 TAs in 4 months: Oasis westbound post-drydock 2 weeks ago, Encore westbound post-drydock next month, Bliss eastbound pre-drydock in January, and Allure eastbound pre-drydock in February. At that point I will have done 12 cruises in 15 months including 6 TAs!! I'm posting this in the FB group for the cruise. Cheers!!

[@Paul-Pakusch]

I'll be on it, too. I saw your post in the other group!

[@barbarahallowell2613]

Me too! On Pearl TA right now. 😊 I'm on the Bliss both ways.

[@bdrennon3663]

Thanks Tony for a wonderful tour. Please take care of your knee. After seeing this tour think I will look at the Bliss for 2026. Thank you for all you do for us. 😊

[@viviennehickey3148]

I played mini golf on that ship. It was a great Ship for our 15-day Panama transit. Tony, I am so sorry your knee is hurting! That is an area with its own special pain. I will say, though, that this pace of ship tour is much more my Jam! Your filming is really good, too. When people move too fast through the tour, it not only makes me dizzy, but it feels like I am missing the experience. Thank you for sharing your Bliss experience.

[@raybrown8887]

we will be on the Bliss for Panama canal cruise leaving Miami Feb 22, so looking forward to it any excursion ideas to share

[@viviennehickey3148]

@@raybrown8887 There are lots. My favorites were the whale and arch tours in Cabo. Also, for the transit, get up really early and reserve a spot in the observation lounge. It's the best view without the heat.

[@genezyz7]

Doing that one in December. Bucket list for my 84yo grandpa, so excited for him.

[@TessAlmond]

That ship looks fabulous, and I just priced it. Considering the included drinks, wifi, excursion credits, and specialty dining, the price is not too bad! Solo cabin - $1781

[@melissav9133]

Just booked my Bliss cruise this morning. My first solo in a studio. I'm so excited!!!

[@norwegiancruiseline]

Can't wait to welcome you on board Norwegian Bliss!

[@TVHouseHistorian]

That walk in closet is almost as big as one of their solo cabins, which by the way are the very best at sea. Sailed on the Encore once. I love Norwegian.

[@billkallas1762]

The solo studio cabin is small (99 sq ft), but it's doable for a 7 day cruise. Next year in 2025, I'm doing "regular" vacation type stuff, but in 2026, I plan to get a solo balcony, for a TA cruise.

[@reaper2478]

Great Tour Tony!.. We did NCL Joy a few years back & it was very enjoyable & yes the food was well done, from MDR, the Local, Buffett & the specialty restaurants 👍

[@bethlowell7336]

Wonderful tour Tony. Certainly lots of things to do and enjoy cruising in style. Thanks for posting. Safe traveling. Cheers.

[@lucyochoa2965]

Thank you for that wonderful tour!

[@anthonymccarthymusicandact6361]

I was just the Piano player in The District Brew House. Must have just missed Ya!

[@RONNIE-oi8ei]

The bliss is one of my absolute favorite NCL ships! The Encore is my Favorite but the bliss is right up there.

[@jeremybaity7002]

That bathroom is where its at. Beautiful cabin through and through

[@Lisa-zt3oj]

I have noticed as the cruisetubers have gotten more popular that most of them are cruising in the more expensive, more exclusive areas of the ship that a lot of us can’t afford. As prices have increased, I am barely affording a standard balcony cabin in the “cheap” areas of the ship. I guess it is nice to dream about staying in a cabin with such perks, but I doubt I would ever spend that much when I generally cruise more for the port itinerary rather than the ship. That said, I hope you have enjoyed this cruise and all the perks in the Haven. 😊

[@jameswade7550]

Thank you, Tony, great tour of a beautiful ship. This is one I haven't been on but looking at it here in the near future.

[@TheJennyBShow]

😊

[@territhomas3293]

Great video Tony. I was on the Bliss right before your trip. The blocked off area on the observation lounge was for the latitude cocktail party with the captain and crew. Loved the Bliss. 😁🌹❤️

[@pegedey1291]

Wow that is some ship! The Haven area is just so peaceful😊So many places to eat😮

[@taylahs.3808]

The view on deck 16 was fabulous. Thanks again for the tour.

[@gobbsmacked9777]

You are correct, sir . . . that is one purdy ship!

[@maryanncapece2623]

Hi Tony. The Haven beds are the most comfortable beds I've slept on at sea. Great ship tour. All those stairs, was making my legs hurt. I hope you rested some while doing the tour. Beautiful ship and I do like all the included area's to eat. As always thank you for all you do and take care of that knee. ❤

[@norwegiancruiseline]

so glad you loved The Haven bed! 💙

[@Scotto97]

We were on the Bliss just two weeks ago and on the Escape back in March. As a comparison, there's several areas we liked better on the Escape:The Waves Pool bar which overlooks the pool on the Escape is not on the Bliss. Spice H2O (The aft dance party venue) is much larger on the Escape and includes large TV screens - overall a better layout which lends to more energy. O'Sheenan's Irish Bar on the Escape also seems to bring more energy with its theming than The Local on the Bliss which is very generic.

[@df5349]

Tony Great tour. Your knee issue certainly did not prevent you from taking stairs or other obstacles that might limit your tour. Thank you!

[@nicza460]

Ship looks great! Thanks for the tour.

[@AronRoss72]

Hi Tony, about a year after the Bliss first sailed, I watched a tour of the ship, and like I said in another video of yours, (think it was The Haven video) I've been wanting to sail on this ship for several years now, especially since I'm only 12 miles from the port. Watching your tour has re-sparked my interest. Obviously The Haven looks amazing, but the rest of the ship is beautiful too. I love the layout and it seems like it has a lot of well thought out space. Great tour buddy!!

[@jimtewa8096]

Hi Tony, I must say you are impressive, you go on a ship that you never been on before and you give a tour like you been on it forever, you're a class act Brother this is why you are loved so much by your viewers, looks like you recovered well you are walking pretty good, God Bless you Tony, hope to sail one day with you soon, please keep me in prayer I go for a Heart Cath procedure Friday to determine if the arteries going to my heart have blockage. Thank you so much, God Bless and stay safe.

[@jimtewa8096]

Thank you Brother

[@TheJennyBShow]

What a nice compliment to Tony 😊 he’s pretty amazing.

[@jeanenebooth1713]

Great video enjoyed the tour very much. The ship is beautiful and sounds like the food is wonderful. Think I will look and see what’s available for cruising in the near future. Thanks Tony!

[@MidgeBorsilli]

Thanks for the video tour! The Bliss looks beautiful!

[@fabibtncrt2]

Going on the Bliss in a couple of weeks! Thanks for the tour. It doesn't look too crowded. Maybe because it's a chilly day

[@jenniferkuzman2451]

Yeah! Where are all the people? Was the ship 100% full?

[@wendytsao3766]

I will see you on the 6th

[@paulmusso1982]

C U on the 1st…

[@jenniferjose7515]

You didn't go out to the waterfront. But that's okay it's like a hidden gem. Always quiet and relaxing. My favorite place for sure

[@davidlouis5115]

Shhhhh 🤫

[@peppergirl231able]

Thanks Tony even with a bum knee you rock a walkabout..the observation lounge is my favorite

[@Paul-Pakusch]

Thank you for the tour. I'll be doing the trans-Atlantic on January 4 as the Bliss makes its way to drydock. Changes and upgrades are expected, most notably adding staterooms to the port side of deck 15 by removing part of the observation lounge.

[@tmac9024]

Too funny that the jogging track goes through the diner 😂,The true meaning of eat and run !

[@lalaelena]

I definitely want to do one of these class ships cruise it will be years before I can afford it but man that tub in the cabin… ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@jimdatlenRealEstate]

Thanks for a great video, brought back lots of great memories from our Panama Canal cruise just after the Omicron covid wave in January 2022 - for us, that was the best cruise ever, since the ship was only 1/3 full. We're booked on the sister ship (Encore) at the beginning of February, looking forward to that one too!

[@mydogwinifredgsd2699]

You are a pro my friend…great video and commentary

[@hawkeye203]

Sailing on the Bliss in February, can't wait!! Thanks for the tour. I have sailed on the Joy and loved it, but the Bliss looks a little higher end.

[@norwegiancruiseline]

Can't wait to welcome you on board Norwegian Bliss!

[@denahart7336]

The suspense is killing me. I am dying to hear about the bill on your medical visit. We had an incident a few weeks ago on their last cruise to Alaska.

[@danacasey8543]

I've been on the Bliss 3 times, Going to Alaska in August on her! The Bliss is my favorite!

[@rogerrohwedder7162]

Best layout of any cruise ship. Stayed on deck 14, best location to get to everything.

[@loriminard6460]

Thanks for the cruise ship tours I doubt I'll ever get to step in one w my health issues and it's to see what they all look like🎉

[@phoenixdiamondsandcrafts2126]

Thanks for this my husband and I are going to Mexico on this ship at the end of March! It will be for our late honeymoon/ 1st year anniversary trip!

[@Deborah-s9t]

Hi Tony, the Bliss looks fantastic

[@TurboNorm]

Mega tour for sure! Looks really nice.

[@shadow340]

I did the drop slide while docked in Ward Cove, Alaska. Its a lot of fun, you just gotta keep your legs crossed or you wont make it up the other side. Make sure you also go to the hot tub on the Port side of the spice H2O otherwise you will get blasted with all the smoke from the smoking area. The go karts say a limit of 300lbs on the website but it was actually 250lbs on the sign on the ship and they will weigh you if you think you are too big.

[@angelasofia7726]

What a beautiful ship! The heaven looks amazing! Thank you Tony!

[@norwegiancruiseline]

Couldn't agree more - The Haven is heaven!

[@laurieGaryCruise]

Great ship tour Tony! Drooling over all things HAVEN! You may have mentioned in a previous video but we could barely hear the wind against your microphone so was wondering exactly what you are using cause it’s working really well! Hope your knee feels better soon. Gary relates.❤

[@lindapeterson3613]

I loved my trip to Alaska on the Bliss this summer. The Indian food in the buffet was so good. Loved my so quiet inside cabin. I slept so well in there.

[@billkallas1762]

I did that, mid June, on the Bliss (No rain on port days)

[@GoldenJazzCanadianCruiser]

Terrific tour show once again. Thanks Tony.

[@DinoFLUSA]

Thank you for the tour on the NCL BLISS.

I am glad you’re able to get around a little better. Hopefully once you arrive home they will figure out what’s going on. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🐬🐬

[@GayesyJ]

That cabin is lovely! I could get used to that kind of luxury. ☺️ Only problem would be that I would find it hard to go back to a normal cabin after experiencing The Haven. 😂 I do love NCL. 😊 My hubby is just under 300lb now. He would LOVE those go carts! 😎 If there were some sort of multi-pass I would probably not see him the entire cruise! 😂

[@sherryhaines4696]

We loved the miniature golf. the warerfront and the observation lounge. The hidden room corridor on deck 8 was a great place to stay. We had a larger balcony club suite and an adjoining room with my brother. We did room service for breakfast and it was really good. We did the Alaskan cruise in May, had a couple rough sea days with the complimentary bags on the stairs.

[@marcozaff6699]

Kids would take over the hot tubs, no room for anyone else to use. The back of the ship is the adults only deck 16. great view when in the hot tubs.

[@schoondog]

Where are all the people? I have now sailed on the Bliss twice and booked for the westbound TA in February. Love the bliss. Also, I think the go carts are weight limited at 250. I'm working on that myself because I want to drive a go cart in the middle of the ocean. Thanks Tony!

[@GryphTKai1]

Love the Bliss. Have already taken 2 Alaska cruises on it and have my third scheduled in May. I stay in the Club Balcony cabins. If you go to Alaska you should get a balcony cabin because of the view. Someday I hope for a Haven cabin. FYI the Spa staff is wonderful.

[@schoondog]

Rip Cocos, heard that is getting the axe to make Teppenyaki larger.

[@dianakautz2522]

I've also heard that Los Lobos will be removed to make Cagneys larger. I'm on the February Transatlantic after drydock. I haven't been on Bliss since her first Panama canal cruise and first Alaska cruise in 2018, but still consider her my favorite ship. Hopefully I'll still love her after the refurbishment.

[@schoondog]

@dianakautz2522 don't forget that a large portion of the portside observation is being turned into balcony staterooms.

[@schoondog]

Also ​@@dianakautz2522see you onboard. I might be making another after drydock tour.

[@dianakautz2522]

@@schoondog Yes, that's sad too. We were on Joy's Transatlantic this year after her drydock, and they did the same to her.

I love that there is containment of the smoke in the smoking casino. Looks plenty busy in the non smoking area. None of the stench rolling around the rest of the ship.

Where is everybody? Usually the pool deck is packed, with people "saving" seats (Even though NCL says it's not allowed, for more than 15 minutes) PS. You could have used the rear elevator, to ride up to 17, from 16, to miss the steps. PSS. I believe that I hit every bar on the Encore, multiple times a day (except the Haven bar)

[@SrGary1000]

That's such a big ship, but it surprising how few people three are on board. Except for the bars and casino, the ship looks to be only about 1/4 of full capacity. How full was the ship Tony, if you know?

I wanted to try Los Lobos, but it's not on Joy. I was sorry to learn that the 20oz Porterhouse is no longer at Cagney's. I have decided to try to not sail on anything older than Breakaway Plus going forward. Bliss or better if I can.

[@billkallas1762]

How large is the solo balcony?? PS. When you get off in LA, the ship will be parked right behind the USS Iowa. If you aren't flying home, right away, you should take a tour.
